Nice save. Great job of bringing back the color and chrome. I have a Continental that I thought "no way is the chrome going to clean up". It still has pits, but it looks good.
Are those the plastic pedals from Walmart? I got them too for another bike. It is an easy way to get 1/2" pedals. They work fine and can take some abuse. And one more thing, plastic pedals won't scratch the other bikes in the garage.
Keep the pictures coming as it goes together.
